"It’s time to stop playing defense. It's time to go on the offensive. To restore competition, regulation, interop and tech worker power so that we can create the new, good internet we’ll need to fight fascism, the climate emergency, and genocide. To build a digital nervous system for a 21st century in which our children can thrive and prosper."

Honestly, I'm a little disappointed in my US hacker colleagues. There's stories about daily "visual inspections" of hotel rooms at #defcon and #blackhat, but not a single story about someone having a huge-ass thing labeled "conspicuous hacking machine" in their room.
You know, 1960s batman level.

As someone who's sometimes skeptikal of Pirate Software/Thor (streamer/game dev) I can't help but wonder how much truth there is to this, since I'm not a programmer or knowledgeable with code stuff whatsoever, I don't know much about DEFCON.

Any peeps that are knowledgeable with this kinda stuff wanna let me know if this seems all factual?🤔

Great time hanging out with physical security village at #defcon32!

Have a badge at #defcon32?

Want a firmware update for it by alleged (legal reasons) firmware programmer @dmitrygr?

Here is the link for the unofficial #defcon #badgelife update: https://discord.com/channels/708208267699945503/710574818222931968/1271522229376516305

Run code at your own risk!


So it seems that the DEF CON badge contains the new RP2350 chip that is in the recently announced Raspberry Pi Pico 2. Among other improvements and goodies, this thing has two Arm Cortex-M33 cores and two RISC-V cores.

Know what else is super cool? They announced at $10,000 bug bounty for the first confirmed break of the newly introduced signed boot process AND partnered with two vendors to make products that make abusing the security on these devices easier!

As i understand it, one of the vendors, Hextree, will be in the Embedded Systems Village along with some Rasp Pi folks.

Well, this is a weird #defcon Dmitry Grinberg drama. I'm staring at my badge right in front of me and there's no evidence of a logo being sanded off of the case, so let's open it up and see what the board says.

Oh look, it's a logo! Wow @defcon, wow.


Weird, shameful and unnecessary drama over an easter egg in the badge at #defcon

Dmitry Grinberg, author of the badge firmware was escorted off stage after he added an easter egg crediting the designers of the badge.

More details: https://www.reddit.com/r/Defcon/comments/1eoe4u7/so_the_guy_who_wrote_the_badge_firmware_and/


Oh my, #DEFCON. Supposedly stiffing the folks (Entropic Engineering) that did the hardware design for the badge, removing their logo from the casing, dragging Dmitry Grinberg, the firmware developer off stage, because he hid an easter egg in the firmware asking for donations to the hardware designers. That's, IMHO, quite low, to put it mildly. More context at https://www.reddit.com/r/Defcon/comments/1eoe4u7/comment/lheaj3b/

It is the year 2050AD. 37,289 DEFCON attendees are hospitalized after hauling around this year’s badges, fully operational 3D replicas of the Cray-1. More begin dropping, one by one.

And only one man can save them.

This year's #defcon badges are actually running a Game Boy Color emulator with the badge software written in GB Studio.
Here I am running the actual #defcon32 badge software on my real, unmodified Game Boy Color!

Unlocking my hotel room door using my fingernails!

https://youtu.be/8a2ePur__es?si=ZueJOIsIb4ZJ92X7

My latest #DefconNails are inspired by Jon Buckley's "High Tech Monopoly" and feature 2x hidden Mifare Classic 1K "magic" chips (can write to UID and sector 0) and 2x custom NTAG213+LED nail stickers that I designed.

I've been doing #NFC nails since 2015, and Mifare nails since 2017, but I've never really done any videos showcasing their capabilities. So this year, I've made a video that shows me using a #FlipperZero to clone my hotel room key onto the Mifare magic chip on my middle finger, enabling me to unlock my hotel room door with my fingernail!

Hi everyone - I'm moving a little slower than expected - too many A&E walks between SYN and ACK stages killed me. @Skittishandbus should selling their merch at A&Es table ~10am. I'm aiming for ~11amish. #defcon #defcon32 #jackalopearmy @Defcon_Music
